ASSIGNMENT:

This summer, you decide to work for Time Warner, a large media company in New York City. You are excited because Time Warner is the parent company of CNN, and you are interested in the role of media in global affairs. Your position is to assist the Director of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Your boss asks you to help kick off a program that will incorporate global issues into Time Warner’s corporate social responsibility work. She asks you to select the “priority issue” listed below :

-Extreme poverty and hunger

And then select an organization, working in this arena, that Time Warner should partner with. This partnership would help that organization gain a platform for agenda setting, and Time Warner would give your organization a financial gift (to be determined by your boss). What issue should Time Warner focus on? What organization (NGO, IO, non-profit, individual) should Time Warner partner with?

Your boss asks you to write a policy memo, and in it you must: (1) select an issue, and explain the relevance of your choice, (2) select an organization of your choice to support, and (3) describe how Time Warner can be impactful in a partnership with this organization.

As a student of “Globalization and International Affairs,” you feel up to the challenge. Your assignment is to narrow your ideas and write a persuasive, 1 page policy memo for your boss.
